It's been a criminally long time since I've seen a great game at the MKM.Hopefully signs for brighter days.

I'm starting to get suspicious SKY are encouraging the long video ref action for the TV drama.

Also still not a fan of Golden Point for a team to get zero points tonight would have been very poor and the players don't need the further 10mins of energy sapping drama for a league game.

Baring the referees and video ref incidents is have 100% taken a point, we are night and day from the team we saw last year. 

Bourouh 60 tackles in the middle with only 1 miss

Awesome effort from him.

A truly heroic effort, not many pundits gave us a chance .The assists by Cust & Asiata were top drawer

For Sezer's conversions to hit the post twice is so unfortunate.. 
Obviously plaudits will go to Carty in prepping the team, but the improvement in the players fitness from Jon Clarke & Tom Bennett in such a short space of time is frankly unbelievable.
Personally I feel once Knight, Watts & Eseh get match fit, we'll be a lot better, wouldn't mind seeing Ashworth in place of Lane, and also Knight to replace Aydin This would give us more grunt to dent the oppositions defensive line 
Rapana is wasted at centre, but unfortunately we don't have anyone else.  
For Leigh, Armstrong is an amazing player, also I thought Niu was a real handful.
All in all, a  great team performance 

Last night was the proudest I've been in FC for a long time, Leigh's quality in the backline and the two sin bins should've meant we lost that game, but we didn't, if anything, the sinbins and refs decisions fired the team up even more - can't remember us being as determined not to lose a game in a long while

We seem a bit smarter too, closing down every drop goal, not panicking on 6 agains etc - recent years teams would've just let Lam slot one over at the first opportunity 

People have mentioned the lack of size in our pack, but last night it felt that our pack got the better of Leigh, whereas they edged it in the quality of their backline, Niu and Armstrong are two very good pickups for them. 


The video refs definitely need to speed things up - if they have the evidence they need from camera angle 1, you don't need to check 4 other angles!
